Draft Grade — Texans
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Texans robbed the room for Jones. Final grade: B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Texans never addressed edge rusher, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 28th pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Christen Miller
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christen Miller. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 Blake Miller
They paid sticker price for Blake Miller in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in pick 69 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick106 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They robbed the room for Logan Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
They read the board right and Kevin Coleman Jr. was the payoff at the 167th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick243 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
Andre Fuller in No. 243 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
